The Old Testament lesson from Numbers 11 for Sunday is an episode in Israel’s journey in the wilderness. I thought I might use the Pickles cartoon from the paper today in my sermon as an example of the journey into the wilderness of aging.

I didn’t brush my teeth with Bengay this morning. The shower head didn’t fall off while I was taking a shower. And I didn’t lock myself out of the house getting the morning paper. Yup, this has been a good day so far.
